Lenovo Laptop CPU Driver Unable to Update to CPU Manufacturer
Microsoft Windows 1909 (Build 18363.752)
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 2 laptop.
I was able to update the GPU driver to the latest GeForce driver.
However, when I tried update the CPU driver to the latest Intel driver (for the Core i7-9850H), the driver would not install citing an error that told me to download driver from my "Computer Manufacturer".
I tried installing through Device Manager as well (Browse, Let me pick, Have disk (then go to intel's unzipped download)). This didn't work as it said it was the wrong driver, but I downloaded this file from this location.
The readme file for the install in this zip package looked suspiciously like a GPU installer, however, I re-downloaded it from intel's site and the same zip downloaded. I am left to assume that it is the proper download for my CPU driver.
The current driver for my CPU is Microsoft 10.0.18362.693 from 21-Apr-09.
The current Intel Management Engine Firmware is 12.0.49.1534
Please advise.
